AEGIS is an initiative that aims to foment EU-US cooperation in cybersecurity and privacy Research and Innovation. To this end, AEGIS has hosted international events and workshops, created a one-of-a-kind Cybersecurity Reflection Group, produced valuable reports on the cybersecurity landscapes on both sides of the Atlantic and produced recommendations for government officials, among many other actions. The project consortium is made up of top EU and US experts in policy, research, academia and the industry.

The European American Chamber of Commerce  –  New Jersey  –  EACCNJ  is  a legally incorporated as a not-for-profit and non-governmental entity dedicated to deepening transatlantic ties between the Mid-Atlantic  States  and  Europe,  a  uniquely  important  relationship.  Founded  in  2009,  and  based  in Princeton, NJ, the EACCNJ is a partner of the EACC global network which enhances its world-wide reach  and  advantages  for  its  members.  The  Chamber’s  mission  is  to  generate  a  variety  of  useful practical connections and policy insights, include for TTIP, to advance transatlantic ties.

The Providence Group

The   Providence   Group,   a   cybersecurity   enterprise   risk   management   consultancy   based   in Washington DC, provides  strategic cybersecurity advice to transatlantic  organizations. We believe cyber risk is actually different from all other risks because it touches  on all types  of risk, including operational  risk,  reputational  risk,  and  regulatory  risk.  It  is  because  cyber  is  such  a  complex  and multifaceted  risk  that  it  needs  to  be  addressed  through  an  enterprise  risk  management  approach. Moreover, cyber risk is extremely dynamic and, as a result, requires boards and senior executives to frame the risk appropriately.  Evidence-based scenario thinking can help frame the risk and can also help understand steps that might be taken to mitigate and respond to those risks.
